I bet he's terrible at poker.
Buying wingers from low-possesion counter-attacking teams is a dumb move for any club aspiring to play the opposite way and regularly faces defenses that sit deep.

I pressed "show ignored content" with dread, expecting to read the same old drivel from one of the usual suspects.
But, to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't one of them but you, after 100,000 attempts, making a post where you are not telling somebody off but instead are making a sensible observation.
Good for you!
Over and out. Still on ignore. Lightning does not strike twice etc.

We have Son, Tel and Johnson who are all wide forward/second striker players and Ange plays one central striker and two wingers. It’s not their fault just a mismatch between players and system.
If Ange’s is gone in the summer then the next guy will probably play that role as most managers I think play at least one wide forward/second striker.
Soon after he joined he was apparently quoted as not liking playing out wide and he isn't currently up to playing the Kane role I think he said he was a second striker so a bit of a misfit.Looked better against Frankfurt but let's face facts we would rather have played them than say Villa.
You've made an assumption that Mbeumo only plays well in a low-possession counter-attacking team.
He's obviously having a break-out season, but at 25yo he has levels to go yet imo and plenty of attractive qualities that could translate to free-flowing possession footy. Rapid, versatile in a front 2 or 3, great presser, and part of one of the best strike partnerships in the league (34G 9A combined) which could realistically be developed with Dom and our litany of inside forwards.
In all likelihood it's Arse or Liverpool that pay the 60m and reap the rewards.
I happened to open up your post. Sad to see your lightning has yet to strike a first time..
Do you remember where you saw the quotes about playing out wide?
I remember the German media saying he’s a striker not a wide forward but don’t remember the quotes from him.
From what we’ve seen Tel is a second striker who can play wide forward and IMO ends up a CF like Isak eventually moved central as he got stronger.
There can’t be anyone more tedious on here than a person who spends half his posts talking about the people he supposedly ignores, but actually does anything but.
Or thicker. Thick and tedious. It’s not a great combo champ.
I'd let this one pass as it was in reference to ol' fixxy
All that effort to show you care (and simultaneously claim that you don't).
Bless you... So cute. x
The funny thing is that Solomon and Werner are probably better fits for Ange than Son and Tel. If only Werner was not so crap at football - the timing runs, running really fast and putting a ball low across goal he is brilliant at!
It commonly accepted that we need (i.e. currently lack) wide players that are dangerous 1 v 1 with the ball a their feet; can beat a man and operate in tight spaces.
I notice you didn't attribute any of those specific qualities to Mbuemo; so presumably you're just "assuming" he's suitable rather than calling upon evidence...........
There's a player in there, but you could say that with Darwin Nunez. He's so raw and clumsy. He would score his share of goals in a much better team than what we are, but for me he's a big no.
He's much better technically than Darwin Nunez and he's only 19. Nunez id=s what he's ever going to be. Tel will be absolutely class.
Couldn’t finish his dinner.
Not sure he's 60 mill tho at this stage , that's a hell of a dice roll
Had 1 chance in the game really, everything else was him creating for others.
Not fussed by the price right now, more interested in the quality of player.
